we're going tomorrow night for my interview in a place we really hope to get, I shall avoid wearing my nazi uniform, I'm going to paint my face white so they can't spot I'm black, I'll rent a Ferrari to show that I'm wealthy and doctor my passport so they think I'm Swiss... would that increase the chances?

Swiss people, from what I can tell, are not racist, or at least no more than everybody else. We all have people we like and people we don't like, and I don't think that the colour of the skin or the size of the wallet is the benchmark.

At the end of the day, is their house and they can choose whoever they want. We did it when we we rented our house in Guersney

(bracing for groans now, they seem to fly quite freely in this thread )
